Why Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs Married Their Own Sisters and Daughters

Torchlight flickers across gold masks and wrapped bones as a sealed tomb breathes its ancient air — a place where sisters became wives, daughters became divine property, and holiness demanded silence. In the shadows of Egypt’s gods, blood was kept pure… but at what human cost?

From the Old Kingdom to the Eighteenth Dynasty, royal siblings and daughters were drawn into ritual marriages meant to stabilize the universe itself.
